“Bruce has always lied. He lived this lie, and every day of his life turned into a secret. From morning until night. Caitlin has no secrets. I hold great hope that Caitlin is a better person than Bruce. And looking forward to a new life. As soon as the latest issue of Vanity Fair comes out, I'll be free. If I kept all this a secret and did not confess my feelings to anyone, then, lying on my deathbed, I would say to myself: “You just took and wasted your whole life.”
